Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says that Tehran has seen an initial reaction from US President Donald Trump to its proposal but has yet to receive a response through mediators.
Iran was waiting for the mediators to convey the definitive US position and would make a decision based on it, Araghchi adds.
Maybe this guy needs to be told it’s embarrassing to make those statements honestly I’m waiting for the military to just stop pretending and come out full force and say the civilian government is over until the war has completed

Man I’m still waiting for regular news feeds to start reporting this but I’m really thinking the real powers of Iran today are actually now gearing up for real action

Looks like "Qassem Basir" did its job....The way USN ran a far and sudden increase in injured sailors, tells something
The Washington Post revealed that the Pentagon, this week and without fanfare, increased the number of U.S. service members injured since the start of the war with Iran by 37 new personnel, without providing any public explanation for the location, timing, or incident that led to their injuries. The new increase includes 29 sailors from the U.S. Navy and 8 from the Marine Corps, bringing the official tally of wounded in the Department of Defense database to 861 U.S. military personnel since the start of operations on February 28. A Navy official confirmed that all 29 sailors have returned to duty, but he did not clarify how or when they were injured.
Notably, the U.S. military has not announced any specific attack on its forces in recent weeks that could be directly linked to these 37 injuries. The Navy and Marine Corps referred questions to the U.S. Central Command, while CENTCOM declined to comment, and the Pentagon did not respond to the Washington Post's request for an explanation. As a result, there is currently no information allowing one to say that the 37 injured fell in a single strike or even in the same period.
The numbers themselves had been rising gradually for months. On August 21, Pentagon data indicated 757 wounded, including more than 580 from the Army, plus 86 from the Navy, 64 from the Air Force, and 19 from the Marine Corps. By September 4, the number rose to 794, then exceeded 820 by mid-September, and now stands at 861. The Pentagon previously stated that most of the recorded injuries were traumatic brain injuries, and that the emergence of concussion symptoms and brain injuries days or weeks later can lead to delayed recording of some cases in the official system.
But the issue isn't just about delayed injury reporting. Since July, the Pentagon has changed the way it presents losses, now dividing them between "Operation Epic Fury" and a new category with a generic name: "Overseas Operations." More than half of the 861 wounded currently in the database are now listed under this second category, which began being used after the collapse of the ceasefire in July and the resumption of fighting. This method means that determining the full tally requires compiling numbers from more than one classification within the database itself.
And this isn't the first time U.S. casualty figures have changed without full clarity. In July, the names of 4 U.S. soldiers killed during combat disappeared from the "Operation Epic Fury" tally, only to be relisted later under "Overseas Operations." The Pentagon said at the time that the matter stemmed from "temporary data disruptions" and the end of Operation Epic Fury, with subsequent losses shifted to the new classification.
Just a week ago, the Washington Post reported from 6 U.S. officials familiar with internal Department of Defense records that the actual number of U.S. service members who died in the Middle East since the war began may be higher than the figure published for the public. Five of the officials said the number was at least 22, while a sixth said it was 23. The newspaper emphasized that some of these deaths are not directly linked to combat with Iran, but occurred among service members deployed in the region during the war. At that time, the public database showed only 18 deaths, then the figure rose this week to 19 following the death of an Army officer who suffered a medical emergency while flying to the Middle East on September 18.
And according to a document reviewed by the Washington Post, the U.S. Central Command estimated the cost of the war as of early September at about $43.6 billion, including roughly $28 billion in munitions used during operations, not counting the cost of damage to U.S. bases.

No because this isn’t going to stop 20 ships from passing per day. If you only hit one or two, the odds are still in favor of the smuggler.
If it was true escalation by Iran, you would see Iran hitting the 40+ ships waiting to do STS in Gulf of Oman.
This is just a temper tantrum like the Jordan missile attack a month ago then the lull that followed.

I am not sure why Eyeraneens are not using mines more in the Omani channel. Such a cheaper option compared to rockets and missiles. The Omani channel is thin too, perfect for mining.

Him and Zarif were too stupid to know they had an American spy on their nuclear team in 2015 negotiations with Kerry. That spy was also close with Shamkhani, the same Shamkhani who called a mandatory meeting of all the heads of military and Artesh to the Khamenai compound the morning Israel killed them all.
Americans infiltrated the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. You can be damn sure that this amateur Iranian government is fully infiltrated at highest levels. That’s why Mojtaba Bin Laden is hiding for 7 months in the caves of Alborz.
